Song Liyun's anger came and went quickly. What she needed was a clear and calm mind to face the first real dispute between wives and concubines in her life.
It is not accurate to say that there is a dispute between wives and concubines. These three people are not Zhao Tingduo's concubines, not even the maids who serve others. They can only be regarded as an exercise in dealing with the inner house.
According to the information from Aunt Xu, these noble ladies were all losers in the struggle for imperial power. Of course, they were also accused of indulging domestic slaves and bullying good people. However, there was little description of the character of these women. They
It seems to be just a label attached to these powerful people.
Based on Song Liyun's observations over the past few days, Tang Qingluan and the others were just novices who were raised in a boudoir and had little skills in fighting in the house.
Living in the Di tribe, without the power and blessing given by the family, the rookie has no fighting ability.
Even Nanny Xu, who had experienced battles in the palace, had almost no way to resist in the face of Mrs. Wu Ya's strength, and did not regard Song Liyun as the villain.
Song Liyun didn't hate these noble girls. As long as they didn't provoke him or steal his things, he would even pity them.
Cao Jing was stopped by Grandma Xu, her face turned red from suppressing the pain, and due to her fever, she was bleeding.
Song Liyun already learned about the three people's past from Wan Youyou yesterday.
The great ancestor of Rong Guogong Tang Xuan was a meritorious official during the reign of Emperor Wu Gao. He was granted the title of Duke for his outstanding military achievements and was hereditary. It was passed down to Tang Qingluan's father, who was the fifth generation of the family.
The Tang family has a prosperous male family, but there is something wrong with a daughter. Now the Duke's wife has given birth to a legitimate daughter, Tang Qingluan, who is regarded as a treasure by the family, and is raised by the family's grandmother. No one else can say anything wrong.
Wan Youyou only said this much, and Song Liyun also gained a new understanding of Tang Qingluan.
He looks innocent and straightforward on the outside, but he is actually a brainless person.
Children from such a family should have a certain awareness of danger, but when the building tilted and the family was destroyed, Tang Qingluan was still proud of being the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rongguo.
If she hadn't been sent to the Dilu Grassland, she would have lost her head because of what she said in the Rongguo Duke's mansion.
She turned her attention to Cao Jing and Jiang Wanru, both of whom were former concubines of the royal family. Their families were exiled. Apart from making mistakes, there were also political reasons.
If Wan Youyou is a talented woman, Jiang Wanru is also a talented woman in the capital.
It's just that one is very knowledgeable and well-read, and the other is good at writing poems and lyrics and making friends with talented people.
Wan Youyou was a prop brought by his grandfather, the Minister of Etiquette, to display among his colleagues, while Jiang Wanru liked to enjoy the admiration of talented people and became famous far and wide.
To stay in this grassland where cattle and sheep are illiterate would be worse than death.
Among the three, Cao Jing is deep-minded and the most scheming. She is the one who can take charge of the family at home. Her father's group of concubines are all controlled by her, an unmarried woman.
These words were said by Wan Youyou.
If it were at the beginning, Song Liyun might not believe what Wan Youyou said.
But now that I have been observing several people for nearly two months, I can’t help but believe it.
At this time, Cao Jing suddenly wanted to talk to him, and Song Liyun also became interested, wanting to hear what was going on in the minds of these noble ladies.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
"Mother Xu, since Miss Cao has something to say, just let her say it freely. If you hold something in your heart, your illness won't be cured!"
Cao Jing swept away the strands of hair hanging on her forehead and stared at Song Liyun coldly: "Young madam, you don't have to pretend to be well-intentioned in front of us.
Who doesn’t know that you are just a lowly military girl who got to where you are today by chance?”
Song Liyun nodded: She was right, she was indeed a military girl, and she met Zhao Tingduo by chance.
It’s just that I don’t agree with the term “high climb”. I am the chosen daughter of the tribe, and it’s not certain who will climb high!
Seeing Song Liyun's calm face, Cao Jing's hatred deepened: "Even though you are the young lady now, we are all from high families, and we still came to the grassland on the orders of the Queen Mother in order to form a good relationship between the two families.
As the master, you not only failed to treat me with courtesy, but also deliberately treated me harshly."
Song Liyun couldn't stand listening to this sentence: "Up to now, you still think that you are a high-ranking family and you are more noble than others? Since you have the Queen Mother's decree, take that decree out. If you are harsh, do you lack food or clothing?
Already?"
At this time, Jiang Wanru finally found the opportunity to speak: "Each of us has two maids and women to serve us. Please return our maids! You, a poor man, don't have a dowry yourself, so you know who is occupying us."
Although everyone now has a maid to take care of them, they only come over in the morning and evening to help with the cleaning, leaving them with hands that have been pampered for more than ten years. They personally serve food and fetch water.
Song Liyun sneered and his face turned gloomy: "Are you disabled or paralyzed? Meals are delivered here every meal, do you still need to be fed?"
Mrs. Wu Ya also had maids who did chores around her, but they were different from the full-time maids of the Wu Dynasty.
In addition to doing the work in their wives' yurt, these tribal women also have their own families.
They even milk cows and herd them, and usually spin and weave carpets. Everyone is busy.
Mrs. Wu Ya herself spent every day among people weaving carpets, and Yuquan next to Song Liyun also made leather boots.
Speaking of which, only Lady Yun did not go to the tribe to do chores.
But besides cleaning and mending Song Liyun's tent, she also had to take care of Shitou and Xiao An.
Now these noble ladies not only have their own dedicated person to serve them, they also say that Song Liyun has robbed them.
Tang Qingluan covered his face, pointed at Song Liyun and Wan Youyou and cursed: "You are not good people. You deceived the young master into not seeing us, you jealous woman! If we were in the capital, you two cheap maids would have been beaten to death and thrown into mass graves.
.”
She felt that Wan Youyou had never dealt with people like her, and even in the tribe, she acted independently.
It was okay for everyone to live in the same house before, but after Wan Youyou found Zhao Tingduo, he never came back. Occasionally, when he saw her from a distance, he was with the young lady.
And the clothes Wan Youyou is wearing now are an old sheepskin robe before, but now they are a satin leather robe.
Tang Qingluan hates it!
Wan Youyou got the benefits of being with the young lady, but she didn't even know how to share the benefits with everyone, and even took advantage of the young master.
This young lady is even more of a bitch, so she would get together with this bitch.
Before Tang Qingluan finished speaking, the door curtain was pulled open with great force, and the sudden sound startled everyone in the yurt.
Nanny Xu, who was near the door, was almost knocked down by the opened curtain.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Zhao Tingduo, tall and tall, wearing a fur hat and fur robe, came in dressed in wind and snow.
Song Liyun stood up in surprise: "Why are you back?"
She came here after seeing off Zhao Tingduo. Less than an hour had passed. Why was she back again and still so angry?
Zhao Tingduo walked up to her with a dark face, put his arms around Song Liyun's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "I thought you had some good ideas, but it turns out it's just like this. Why are you wasting your time with these things?"
"Udan!"
He shouted outside, and Wu Dan, also wrapped in a leather robe, came out from behind: "Young Master!"
"Immediately go and notify Mudan, Kuabu, and Falcon to ask three tribal leaders to come over and take these three people away!"
To reward these noble ladies... Wu Dan was stunned, then he happily turned around and ran away.
Nanny Xu's face was ashen at this time: "Young Master, you are like An Guogong..."
"Shut up, since what An Guogong gave to me is my property, you slave, don't say anything!"
Seeing Zhao Tingduo suddenly come in, Tang Qingluan and others were shocked, and shyly pulled up the quilt to cover themselves.
But then came the news that he was going to be rewarded.
Jiang Wanru didn't care that she was only wearing a close-fitting thin coat, and rushed towards Zhao Tingduo: "Young Master, these slaves are yours, you can't reward them!"
Before she could get closer, Zhao Tingduo had already picked up a quilt from the ground, pinched the corners and pulled it out.
He was so strong that the quilt turned into a weapon. Jiang Wanru screamed and was knocked away and thrown into a corner.
Zhao Tingduo was full of rage, with a pair of black eyes as fierce as a wolf. He looked coldly around the people in the room, then stared at the shivering Tang Qingluan and Cao Jing, and said one after another: "I don't allow anyone to treat my wife.
